Chapter 199 Missing Person Notice (VIII)
And Aning, who was sleeping on the upper bunk, didn't turn over or make any other noise. It seemed that both of them had fallen asleep.
Although he had just woken up, Qiao Yuan did not seem confused at all. He just paid attention to the movements around him while keeping his eyes on Fei in front of him.
When Fei was on night duty yesterday, he stayed on the upper bunk and kept his distance from her. But this time, perhaps because their journey together had worked, the other party sat directly next to her.
This was the first time that Qiao Yuan was so close to the other person. Even when they were walking back to the staff dormitory just now, Fei had always kept a distance from her.
At the same time, Qiao Yuan also noticed the tension and vigilance in the other person's expression, as if...
It's like being afraid of something.
As soon as this thought came into Qiao Yuan's mind, he felt the corner of his clothes being pulled quickly.
She lowered her head and saw Fei had already leaned close to her ear. His long golden hair just fell on Qiao Yuan's neck, causing a tingling sensation.
But compared to this, what Qiao Yuan paid more attention to was what Fei said.
Although the other party lowered her voice, Qiao Yuan could still hear what she said: "There is something wrong with them."
Following her gaze, Qiao Yuan saw Chen Siyu lying on the lower bunk, and it was obvious who the so-called "they" were.
Perhaps because she knew Qiao Yuan would not believe it easily, Fei said in a hurried tone that she did not sleep well in the first half of the night. She looked under the bed in a half-awake state, and with the moonlight coming in through the window, she found that there was no shadow on the wall behind them.
She realized that Aning and Chen Siyu were ghosts and wanted to tell Qiao Yuan, but was afraid of alerting them.
When he heard Chen Siyu and Aning speak, Fei thought the two ghosts had discovered something. But fortunately, they seemed to know nothing and were even resting.
Fei whispered: "Now is a good opportunity for us to escape..."
As she spoke, she pulled Qiao Yuan up.
Qiao Yuan's bed was not far from the door, and for fear of disturbing Chen Siyu and Aning, the two walked for a long time. But when they were about to reach the door, Qiao Yuan suddenly seemed to be tripped by something, and fell backwards as if he lost his balance.
Fei, who was originally walking side by side with her, did not realize this development. In order to avoid being knocked down by her, he could only subconsciously turn his body to the side. Fortunately, Qiao Yuan finally kept her balance at the moment when she was about to fall.
After she stood firm, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Fei, wanting to continue walking forward. However, the noise she made just now was particularly obvious in the quiet dormitory. Chen Siyu, who was sleeping on the lower bunk, had already stood up and muttered, "What happened..."
Before Fei could react, Qiao Yuan had already pushed her forward: "Oh no, they're awake, let's run..."
Fortunately, the two were only one step . Fei was pushed by Qiao Yuan directly to the door, opened the door and stepped out first.
Even without turning her head, she could hear Qiao Yuan's footsteps following closely behind her.
Then there was a slamming sound of a door closing.
I didn't expect Qiao Yuan to remember to close the door at this time...
Fei's mood was complicated, but then there was a slight "click" sound.
Wait, that's the sound of the door locking...
When she turned around, she only saw the closed door, but did not see Qiao Yuan.
Fei was stunned: "Qiao Yuan?"
Although this place is not a continuous mountain range, there was an echo after her voice fell: "Miss Qiao?"
Oh no, that's not her voice, it's Chen Siyu's.
And Chen Siyu's voice continued: "Why are you standing at the door?"
Qiao Yuan was still inside the door.
Her heart was tense and she had no time to think. She quickly called out Qiao Yuan's name, signaling him to come out quickly.
Inside the door.
Chen Siyu also heard the noise coming from outside the door. She was half awake from her sleepy state and realized something was wrong. She gave up asking Qiao Yuan why he was standing at the door and asked in confusion, "Why is the princess outside at night?"
Qiao Yuan: "The one outside the door is not Fei, but a ghost."
Chen Siyu: "So it's a ghost... Wait, a ghost?!"
She was now completely sober.
Even Aning, who was still in a daze on the upper bunk, let out a cry of surprise after hearing the word "ghost".
Fei's voice rang out from outside the door: "What are you talking about? How could I be..."
"There's obviously a ghost in the room!"
Qiao Yuan didn't lower the volume, so the other party could hear it clearly.
Perhaps because he was too anxious, the other party slammed the door hard. The door of the dormitory was made of wood, and Chen Siyu didn't know if she was dazzled, otherwise why would the door be so shaky?
After knocking a few times and finding no response, Fei coldly said "It's up to you", and soon footsteps were heard, and it seemed that they had left.
Chen Siyu also heard Fei's words, and for a moment she didn't know who to believe. Aning had already slipped off the bed.
Chen Siyu hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Qiao Yuan: "How do you know she's a ghost?"
Qiao Yuan: "Her hands are backwards."
When she first woke up, because Fei's hand was close to her leg, and Chen Siyu suddenly spoke up to remind her to change shifts, Qiao Yuan was busy changing shifts and didn't notice it. But when Fei pulled the corner of her clothes, she was still exposed.
Although there was no light at the time, Qiao Yuan usually paid attention to eye protection and had good eyesight, which allowed her to notice that Fei's palm was facing outwards.
It was obvious that Fei was a ghost, and it seemed that he was targeting her.
In Manager Tang's eyes, Qiao Yuan is an excellent employee. She has never received any warnings or complaints. Therefore, Qiao Yuan realized that she was targeted by the ghost because she discovered important clues.
However, Qiao Yuan did not expose the truth rashly, nor did she immediately run out of the dormitory. After all, she did not know whether Aning and Chen Siyu in the room were ghosts, and whether the outside of the dormitory was the real escape route, so she did not move.
When Qiao Yuan heard Fei's words, who was disguised as a ghost, she had already ruled out the possibility that Aning and Chen Siyu were ghosts. Fei's words showed her the correct way to escape -
You can't follow this ghost outside, you have to stay in the dormitory.
But letting the ghost stay in the dormitory all the time was not a good idea, so Qiao Yuan quickly decided to trick the ghost out.
Pretending to fall, making noises, and pushing anxiously, he did the whole set of movements in one go, and by the time the ghost reacted, it was already outside the door.
After hearing Qiao Yuan's narration, Aning was still full of hesitation: "This... is just your one-sided statement after all..."
She wasn't really worried about Fei, but what he had just said was still echoing in her mind. If Qiao Yuan was lying, wouldn't that mean that he was the ghost...
Although Chen Siyu didn't say anything, the vigilance in her eyes did not disappear when she looked at Qiao Yuan, and she was obviously still skeptical of Qiao Yuan's words. After all, if it was a ghost outside the door, it would have left just like that, which was completely different from her impression of the ghost being unreasonable.
Qiao Yuan saw everything and said again: "If you still have any questions, you can ask the ghost."
Before Chen Siyu could say anything, Aning whispered, "But she's already left..."
"No, it's still there." Qiao Yuan said while pointing in a direction.
Chen Siyu and Aning looked in the direction of her finger. Although they had been prepared in advance because of Qiao Yuan's words, they still couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it with their own eyes.
The door was not tightly closed, and there was a finger-wide gap between the wooden door and the ground.
However, at this moment, a pair of blue eyes filled with death appeared in the gap, and the whites of the eyes were covered with red nerves that were wriggling like worms, staring at the three people in the room.
When she noticed that the three of them had heard Qiao Yuan's words and were looking at her, a look of resentment flashed in her eyes.
Aning's voice trembled as did her body: "What...what's going on? Didn't it say it had already left..."
Chen Siyu had already understood that the footsteps just now were just a trick used by the other party. The ghost pretended to leave, but in fact it had been lying here. If they had believed the other party just now and thought there was a ghost in the room, they would have chosen to leave the room...
Chen Siyu's back was already covered in cold sweat.
After all, although the ghost appeared in the room before, it seems that after it left, it can only come in by invitation if it wants to.
The ghost seemed to realize that it had been completely exposed and finally stopped wasting time. Its flesh and bones melted like candles, and a stench like burning fat spread.
The stench finally dissipated until the other person's body completely disappeared.
Chen Siyu finally came back to her senses. As if she had thought of something, she turned to look at Qiao Yuan: "If that was a ghost, then the real princess..."
Ah Ning also covered her mouth: "Has the princess already..."
Qiao Yuan: “No.”
She wasn't trying to comfort them. After all, according to the forum and her own experience, at the beginning of the dungeon, the ghosts could only kill one player per night. But it was also because of this that the longer they stayed in the dungeon, the more danger they would encounter.
The ghost's target was obviously her, so it was impossible for it to attack Fei.
Qiao Yuan guessed that Fei was probably just hidden.
After Qiao Yuan's reminder, Chen Siyu and Aning also remembered this matter.
However, because of the previous experience of Gui's feint, Chen Siyu and others did not dare to go out even though they watched the other party disappear.
Qiao Yuan was not sleepy because he had rested before, but Chen Siyu and Aning lost their sleepiness for a while because of the sudden appearance of the ghost. It was not until the daybreak that they finally couldn't resist the fatigue and fell asleep for a while.
As the sky brightened and it was time to go to work, Chen Siyu and Aning finally got up.
After packing up, the three of them prepared to go out, and as soon as they opened the door, they saw Fei walking towards them.
Fei also saw them and walked towards them.
Because of the ghost who pretended to be Fei, Aning looked at the person walking towards them and subconsciously took a step back. Although Chen Siyu did not step back , her eyes on Fei also revealed a scrutiny.
Fei also realized their resistance, stopped, kept a distance from Aning and Chen Siyu, and then explained: "I am not a ghost."
According to Fei, when she woke up, she found herself not in her bed, but in an empty dormitory where she was the only one there. She finally found her way back just now.
Only then did the other three believe Fei's words, and Fei also learned from Qiao Yuan what had happened last night.
Although Fei didn't say anything, there was a hint of guilt in his expression when he looked at Qiao Yuan.
Even though she was not a ghost, the ghost used her name to deceive people and even almost killed Qiao Yuan, which still made Fei feel guilty.
Qiao Yuan also noticed Fei's change of mood and said, "It's okay, he's not dead."
"Some ghosts just don't respect the right of publicity."
Chen Siyu & Aning: "..."
Wait, do you know what portrait rights are?
However, Qiao Yuan's words still made the atmosphere briefly relaxed, and the four of them quickly reunited with other male players.
The players reunited, and Qin Taiyang looked at the neatly assembled people and breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, everyone is still alive."
"But we didn't encounter any ghosts yesterday. Did anyone else encounter any? Or was last night Christmas Eve?"
Qiao Yuan raised his hand.
After hearing Qiao Yuan's story, Andre subconsciously hugged Aning beside him and whispered, "It's a good thing you are not hurt."
Brother Lou and Qin Taiyang also looked solemn. After all, the ghost had been able to replace a player without anyone noticing. Although the other party seemed to have many restrictions if they wanted to kill the player directly, it was already a problem for them.
"But it looks like this clue is correct." Chen Siyu said, drawing everyone's attention back.
However, Qiao Yuan realized an important problem.
Both she and Yan Shen found clues, but why did the ghost come to her?
And judging from the ghost's behavior, it doesn't look like a child...
Could it be that Xu Lin was really hallucinating at that time? Or maybe there were actually two ghosts. But if that was the case, the two ghosts could easily find her and Yan Shen at the same time...
But no matter what, the sound of the child kicking the football is always a breakthrough, so Qiao Yuan decided to start investigating first.
After a few brief exchanges, everyone quickly separated and went back to their respective posts.
At the same time, someone in the live broadcast room also discovered this problem.
[Yan Shen and Qiao Yuan found clues at the same time, why did the ghost find Qiao Yuan? ]
[Maybe it’s because ghosts also bully the weak and fear the strong, and they know that Yan Shen is not easy to mess with]
[Is Sister Qiao someone who is easy to mess with? ]
[No, so don’t you see that the ghost is about to be pissed off?]
[Then Sister Qiao is also someone who has mastered the art of resurrection]
[But I think the clues Qiao Yuan found are more important.]
【? To be honest, I think Qiao Yuan's clues are just hearsay, and I don't know whether they are true or false. After all, that woman hates Xu Lin, so maybe she is making up stories about him.】
[But I think that woman's expression didn't lie, and didn't Yan Shen prove that this clue was correct before?]
[Am I the only one who noticed that Yan Shen was a little distracted when he answered? After Andre finished speaking, Yan Shen took a long time to respond to him.]
